This a 7.62x54R can (see http://62x54r.net/ for the source). The markings for 7.62x39 seem to be similar, with the exception of the obp.43 on the can in the op. That seems to distinguish his ammo as the 7.62x39. The obp in Cyrillic translates to obr in the Latin alphabet. I'd wager that is a contraction of obrazets, which means "pattern of" in Russian. So obp.43 is likely a reference to the M43 bullet (cartridge?) designation.
Wow, soon enough you guys start reading Russian!
In Russia, 7.62x39 mm cartridge was contemplated as an intermediate (промежуточный) between rifle 7.62x54 mm (Mosin-Nagant) and pistol 7.62x25 mm (Tokarev TT33) cartridges. It was first intruduced in 1943, so it became commonly known as the cartridge 7.62 of 1943 style (образца 1943, or in short обр. 43)

In this sense it probably means single based nitrocellulose propellant.

I picked up a crate that looks very similar to yours, 7.62x39 FMJ, berdan primers, CORROSIVE. .... Go outside.... shoot a gong or something, then CLEAN your rifle, all of it, gas tube and everything.... corrosive is not a clean once a season kind of ammo.

For your viewing pleasure..
Gotta be Induspac.
Induscorr manufactures a wide range of corrugated
cardboard boxes (single wall, double wall, triple wall,
etc.) that can be used in many different applications.
This flexibility was made possible by Induscorr’s
thorough knowledge of the different grades of paper
available on the market. These different grades can be
matched to a variety of technical specifications (density,
mechanical resistance, colour, etc.) to meet users’
complete satisfaction. The one constant is their
environmental features:
Multi-purpose, rigid, corrugated cardboard sheets for collage, school projects, or creating custom boxes. Also great for testing spray paint or practicing stencils. The single wall cardboard offer strength, resilience, and versatility. Simply cut to size or score & fold. Standard 1/8" (3mm) thickness. Available in 2 sizes.

I agree, it is beautiful, but I think it's more likely спасенный, (Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill in english,) near Leningrad. They are one of the oldest Russian pulp and paper mills; produces up to 400'000 tons of sulphate pulp, 350'000 tons of sack paper and more than 500 million of paper sacks (eng). Russia’s largest producer of kraft paper and paper sacks, was founded in 1939 in the north of Karelia, 700 km to the North from Saint Petersburg , on the bank of Lake Vyg. At those times, the mill had the most powerful equipment in Europe. Up to the 1990s, two thirds of all paper sacks consumed in the former USSR were produced in Segezha.
The company's founder, Ivan Ivanagetdrunc, was a close friend of Stalin, and the champion Russian Roullette player in their circles. As a result, the connection with the military was solid, and he was a gun nut to boot, though he refused to carry a revolver, unless he was drinking...
For those cardboard enthusiests, you may be interested to know that In 2000, having modernized soda regenerating boiler (SRB) No.2, the mill was able decrease emissions of harmful substances into the air to make them as low as a tenth size. New powerful electric filters of the SRB-2 are capable of holding up to 98-99 percent of sulfate powder.
In February 2004, new Boiler Plant No. 7 was launched at SPPM Heat Power Plant No.1 . The new boiler allows burning any type of solid fuel and combustible waste “in fluid bed”, the producing capacity of the steam generating boiler plant increases by one fourth.
Wow, eh. What I would give for a tour of Boiler No. 7!
I'm glad to see fellow corrugated cardboard nutz have a place to gather and swap stories of such a vast and varied industry. With all of its rich and storied history, there is no way a single scholar or enthusiast could ever hope to learn it on their own.

Yes the paper is an acid based paper and therefore corrosive. Its Russian why wouldn't it be?
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SMOKING!! One cannot venture into a diatribe about Ivanagetdrunc without mentioning his fateful encounter with Col. Sanders in Belarus in '53...and not one word about boiler #8 eh!? That's alright, you should all just keep your heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist. It will be fine, I'm sure everything will turn out just fine...

This is not 7.62x39, but rather 7.62x54R sniper rounds. СНАЙПЕРСКИЕ = Sniper. Get them as soon as you spot them. The highest accuracy rounds for Mosin-Nagant (or SVT, or SVD).
